Playing Dr.

[Tractorman]

Recovery Timeline by Grade

• Grade 1 (Mild Sprain): Stretched ligament
  • Healing Time: 3 to 5 days (up to 1 to 2 weeks)
  • Details: Minor pain and swelling; treated with RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and stiff-soled shoes. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Grade 2 (Moderate Sprain): Partial tear of the plantar plate
  • Healing Time: 2 to 6 weeks (typically 2 to 4 weeks for return to play)
  • Details: More prominent bruising and pain; often requires taping, a walking boot, or a cast shoe. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Grade 3 (Severe Sprain): Complete tear of the ligament or capsule
  • Healing Time: 2 to 6 months (up to 6 to 12 months for full recovery)
  • Details: Severe instability and difficulty walking; may require casting or surgery, followed by 10 to 14+ weeks of post-operative rehabilitation.

It appears he has a Grade 2 turf toe from what we observe with the boot. If injured at the end of Mizz game, it will be 4 weeks come Saturday vs OK. I believe coaches decided to give our #1 QB and #1 RB one more week to get as healthy as possible and make a run starting this week. You know Coach will want to smash Oklahoma, then we go on the road to a reeling Texas. We then have 3 winnable games at home before traveling to OM for the Egg. The overwhelming response from the fan base going into LSU was let him and Fluff rest if not 100% so we could finish out the season strong. I think that is what our strategy is. I still believe we can have a great ending.

I think you should measure that from Alabama, not Mizzou. So on Saturday it will be three weeks from the last time he played. Hopefully that's enough.

Based on what Lebby said today in his presser and what Charlie Winfield said on Sunday Coffee yesterday, I don't feel great about him playing. But that is feelings only.

 

[Dawgzilla2]

Thats not how you play doctor

I would be very surprised if either KT or Fluff play this weekend. Or next.

This is what I deduced from the presser, and CJL is keeping it loosely under wraps. The staff could take the back-up situation more seriously than what the appearance is. LSU was gonna win (most likely); however, the team played and coached like the game was already lost. Hell, we had a chance of a lifetime to prove how tough we are and put up a hell of a fight. All we proved was what everyone seemed to think we are (without K1).

...Hell, we had a chance of a lifetime to prove how tough we are and put up a hell of a fight. All we proved was what everyone seemed to think we are (without K1).

So we proved exactly what we are, right? (not a good team without key players) You were hoping that we would prove that, but that is not the same as having a chance to prove it. Every day I wake up I have a chance to prove to people that I am smart, but it ain't gonna happen, because I'm not; no matter how many chances I have to prove otherwise.

Yeah. What really made me angry Saturday was LSU didn’t really play that well. We just laid down.

And that's what you're going to see the next two weeks, at least. When you don't have your big guns the rest of the team lacks confidence.

My feelings are they should strap up and quit hanging out on the sideline

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

I rather both sit out the next two weeks and make a 4-0/3-1 run in November

 

[CochiseCowbell]

"Playing Dr" meant something else entirely a few decades ago.

Hard to lay down when you were never on your feet. This team looked defeated before the opening kickoff

Any team can play hard. We didn’t Saturday.

 

[TilloDwg]

In Murray's gameday thread Saturday, he casually mentioned KT had a foot injury, likely a broken bone, in passing. Nothing official of course...

He is still more probable than Fluff Saturday, but that ain't saying much.

Certainly not with that attitude***

Be quiet, Dawg Raid
